The spider
While reading to my class, I heard, "There's a spider!"
"Where?" I replied.
"It's on the pillow!" R said.
We soon found the spider crawling across the floor. Before I had a chance to suggest we watch him, he dodged a couple pillows but he wasn't quick enough for R's foot. Oops!
The question
Before lunch, I told the students, "I'm so hungry, I
can't see straight!" Later I was eating lunch at my desk when the kids
were coming in from outside. G walked in and said,
"Can you see straight?" It took me a second and then it hit me! We had a good giggle!
The note
It was a wacky day. While I love for my class to talk, they seemed to be talking all the time. At the end of the day, I wrote the following note on the board:
I love you even when you dr_ _ _ me cr _ _ _!
They filled in the blanks and we laughed as we headed home!

I'm so glad to see you back Loralee! I love how you use teachable moments in your day. I feel like I've gotten away from that and you've inspired me again! (I am addicted to your blog of quotes! Every time I see you on my Feedly, I smile! Just want you to know you have readers!) Happy Saturday!

ReplyDeleteI love how you captured the moments to celebrate in your classroom…. so fun! I love how you structured this celebrate --a mentor text for a future post for sure. I loved laughing with you this morning!

At our school we hear the words "bell to bell instruction." This is still bell to bell but with a little fun added in. It makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteI love the celebration of small moments!
ReplyDeleteI loved the question - kids have a way of remembering the oddest things! I hear the sounds of much laughter in your classroom, Loralee!
ReplyDeleteThese are all such fun moments. You do such a great job of celebrating the small wacky moments in a classroom!
